The benchmarks of Intel’s emerging CPUs Rocket Lake and Comet Lake Refresh have been leaked and what’s interesting is that the new 11th generation series shows worse IPC than AMD’s Ryzen 5000 series with the Zen 3 core architecture.
Intel’s 11th generation Rocket Lake processors have worse IPC than AMD Ryzen 5000 Zen 3, Comet Lake Refresh Core i3 processors that are up to par
The benchmarks were posted to Chinese Tech store Zhuanlan, who also covered the CPU benchmarks of Intel Core i5-11600KF and Core i5-11400F. The latest CPU benchmarks focus primarily on Intel’s Comet Lake Refresh series, which includes the Core i3-10325 and the Core i3-10105. These CPUs replace the Core i3-10320 and the Core i3-10100, which offer higher clocks but with lower temperatures and power consumption. So let’s talk about the specifications of these two parts before we go to the IPC equation.
The Intel Core i3-10325 is the fastest quad-core in the Comet Lake Refresh series. It features 4 cores, 8 threads, a base clock of 3.90 GHz, and boost clocks of 4.7 GHz (1-core) and 4.5 GHz (in all cores). The CPU has 8 MB L3 cache, a 65W TDP and Intel UHD graphics 630. The Intel Core i3-10105 has exactly the same core configuration but reduces the clocks and cache. The CPU is based on 3.70 GHz, 4.4 GHz (1-core) and 4.2 GHz core enhancement with 6 MB L3 memory. In terms of pricing, the Core i3-10325 will sell for $ 154 US, while the Core i3-10105 will sell for $ 122 US.
Both processors are only 100 MHz faster in terms of base and gain frequencies. As such, the overall performance improvement is very small, about 1-2% above the existing Comet Lake Core i3 CPUs. However, the most important area of improvement is power consumption and temperatures. Intel appears to have used higher quality IHS and packaging materials for its Comet Lake refreshment range, which drops to 5 degrees in temperature in current parts of Comet Lake.

In terms of power, we also see a marginal drop with the Core i3-10325 being about 9W lower than its predecessor, while maintaining the higher clock speeds and the Core i3-10105 being about 6W lower than its predecessor while 100 MHz higher offers. watches.
But if the Comet Lake Refresh standards are done, we can now focus on the IPC tests between Intel Rocket Lake, Intel Comet Lake Refresh and AMD Ryzen 5000 Zen 3 Desktop CPUs. All the CPUs were tested with only 4 core points and 8 wires switched on and a fixed clock speed of 4 GHz. Comet Lake Refresh can be seen to offer a slight increase in IPC, while Rocket Lake offers about 18% IPC increase over the Comet Lake processors.
Intel Rocket Lake vs. Intel Comet Lake vs. AMD Ryzen 5000 Zen 3 Desktop CPU IPC Tests:
When it comes to the comparison between the AMD Ryzen 5000 Zen 3 and the Intel 11th Gen Rocket Lake CPUs, the AMD series ultimately offers 7.5% higher IPC than the new Cypress Cove core. This shows that AMD will maintain a good lead over Intel’s upcoming series, and Intel will again have to rely on higher clocks to make up for the lower IPC over the Zen 3 offering. Intel will also use higher power limits on its top parts and even more aggressive clock stimulation technologies to improve the game, but this will definitely lead to a very high power consumption and temperatures, as Intel itself sets the top limit at 100C.
